Bush Plans for Global Police State Gather Apace
By John Saxe-Fernández

these sociopaths want it all.

They are pushing us to evolve into accepting a world without love,a fascist world..a sociopath playground.An S/M scene that never ends and they are always on top.

Our freedoms are fading and soon the boots stomping Iraq will be stomping us until every knee bends and every head bows..

It's the Necromonger way...

I hate PNAC.
I hate all these creeps.
I wish everyone who hated them would act together and stop them.
I can't do it all by myself.The monster is too armed,has too many human eyes and hands willing to kill for the dream of tyrants going along with it and doing it's work because they all Believe in the plan will save them from real life.
